A short ostracon account recording donkey-loads (probably of wine or other goods) delivered through or for apa Kyrios, a symmachos (courier), with a running total of 12 1/2 loads. It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena and dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
In English machine translation
[…] of apa Kyrios, the messenger (?): 2 1/2 donkey-loads
Total: 12 1/2 donkey-loads
A symmachos in late antique Egypt was a courier or messenger, often attached to an estate or official. The opening is lost, so the earlier entries making up the total of 12 1/2 are missing.
